Dual-Channel mode Population Rule
In Dual-Channel mode, the memory modules can transmit and receive data with two
data bus lines simultaneously. Enabling Dual-Channel mode can enhance the system
performance. The following illustrations explain the population rules for Dual-Channel
mode.
Important
• DDR3 memory modules are not interchangeable with DDR2 and the DDR3 standard
is not backwards compatible. You should always install DDR3 memory modules in
the DDR3 DIMM slots.
• In Dual-Channel mode, make sure that you install memory modules of the same type
and density in different channel DIMM slots.
• To enable successful system boot-up (Lynnfield CPU especially), always insert the
memory modules into the DIMM1 first.
Due to the chipset resource deployment, the system density will only be detected up
•
to 7+GB (not full 8GB) when each DIMM is installed with a 4GB memory module.
